Youthful troubadour Jackie Greene has setting jaws a-dropping since appearing on the Sacramento music scene a few years ago, with his awesome talents and irresistible amalgam of American roots music. A singer-songwriter with one foot firmly in the folk traditions of the 1960's and one foot deep in the electric blues, Jackie performs original tunes that run the gamut from rambling Dylan-esque ballads to straight-ahead blues to old-time bluegrass-flavored numbers, showcasing the scope of his talents including tasty fingerstyle guitar, harp blowing, barrelhouse piano, banjo picking, and dobro. Jackie's recent album, Gone Wanderin' (Dig Music), made Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 10 Critics' Choice for 2002 and won the 2003 California Music Award for Outstanding Blues/Roots Album of the Year. Tonight Jackie appears with his hot rhythm section, Ben Lefever on drums and Hence Phillips on bass.
